Donate to our Christmas Appeal

Christmas is upon us again, the season of giving and being thankful for what we have and the people we are fortunate to have in our lives.

2017 has been a big year for us, with our exciting journey from Sunshine to Unisson Disability.

One of the reasons we embarked on this change was so that more people who need our services can find them. We are now easier to find, easier to search for and there is no longer any confusion between us and others in our sector. We strongly believe our new name and look better represents the connection, togetherness, support and progress that we strive for.

With this change, we anticipate our organisation to expand across all of our support areas. We anticipate that we will be supporting more NDIS participants and employing more staff. It is with the support of our donors that will make this growth possible.

This year we ask our donors, friends and community to support Unisson Disability with the gift of a donation. Your donation – no matter the size - will help us to continue to focus on establishing unique and meaningful connections with the people we support.

We would like to share a story from Unisson Disability participant Corey and his Direct Support Professional, Harry.

Like most 22-year-olds, Corey Atkinson loves his independence and heading out to explore the city. So he wasn’t going to let his disability get in the way of his freedom!

Corey was matched with Harry, and together they have been undertaking travel training. Twice a week, they head out on a new adventure. It’s been a heart-warming experience for Corey, whose progress and independence has grown immensely.

"I love doing the travel training with Harry, I feel more confident," he says. "We go out to all types of places and he's a really kind and helpful person."

Harry believes the travel training has also improved other areas of Corey’s life. “I’ve seen such a growth in Corey’s ability to have
conversations with other people, and he’s much more confident in social settings. He’s come such a long way since we first started working together. He used to be very nervous and that’s no longer the case.” Corey is now looking brightly toward his future.

"I'm excited to be able to go out on my own," says Corey. "I love being independent."
